Sodexo, the world’s leading Quality of Life services company with operations in 80 countries, announced that it will source only cage-free eggs for its global liquid and shell egg supply chain by 2025. Sodexo will partner with HSI and other animal protection organizations, including Compassion in World Farming and The Humane League, to implement this new animal welfare and corporate social responsibility policy.

HSI applauded the World Bank Group’s Safeguard Policies, which now include a reference to meaningful animal welfare standards that would prohibit some of the most abusive practices in animal agriculture.

The National Farm Animal Care Council’s draft egg industry Code of Practice fails to end the use of all cage confinement for laying hens, flouting months of consistent corporate commitments to source 100 percent cage-free eggs in company supply chains.

HSI/Canada expressed disappointment with the new Code of Practice released by poultry industries and the National Farm Animal Care Council, with the new standards failing to institute meaningful changes to improve the welfare of animals.
